So running the light two modes down from the highest setting really reduced the heat output. Its only slightly warm to the touch now after 10 hours of on time. I'll set it to the 1st setting down from the highest light and see how it goes tomorrow.

Just too expensive for what you get. Plus it is no where near as bright compared to the A-series and even more worse compared to A-series plus. You do get RGB colours but is it worth it for so much extra money? I would pass on this.

Yep, saw them too. Looking at the 30 and 45 RGB. however in AUS the Prices are ridiculous. from Aliexpress you pay about $70/78 depending on seller and for the 45 you pay about $89/90 and fee shipping. Here in aus you pay $98.00 for the 30m RGB.

Warranty is another issue as well. if you buy in AUS you should get a warranty. However IF the Models are made to last then where you buy them shouldn't be an issue. However one may find that there is always a clause with warranties and in most cases you will end up having to pay for the item to be repaired. point is if you can get it from overseas for a better price then do it.

Althought individual fish do not cost much, do not think of fish as cheap little expendables.

The jump in price is a bit crazy, I assume it cost much more to product the longer light...

RE warranty, I have found buying direct from hinterfeld to be very good, at least for DOA orders or factory defects etc. The Chihiros lights are pretty budget and that can be seen in the build quality.

I didn't think to check Aliexpress. I guess you can pay more to have local warranty and faster delivery or you can get from overseas at a considerably cheaper price. However the RGB 90 and 120 is stupid expensive and it's an overseas price. Can you imagine the Australian retailer price? lol

I also think they factor into the cost the extra shipping charges to send items 90cm and over across the globe. Oversize items are probably way more expensive than the lights 60cm and under. That's my guess though.
